Dear friends,
I am absolutely delighted to share a most interesting interview with you: a conversation with Valerii Ochirov, a Hero of the Soviet Union, a Lieutenant-General of the Soviet Air Force and commander of a helicopter squadron in Afghanistan. The reason why I asked Alena Scarecrow to subtitle this interview is that I wanted you to see the kind of person which today you would find flying for the Russian Air Force in Syria. Furthermore, while most of the attention is focused on the advanced fixed wing aircraft, like the formidable SU-34, the Russian helicopter pilots are actually taking even more risks and accomplishing for more dangerous, but crucial, missions. In this interview, you will meet a “pure” Russian helicopter pilot, the kind of person who has, day after day, performed miracles in the skies of Afghanistan and in many other conflict areas since. No matter how fancy and advanced the Russian aircraft are, what makes them truly unique are the men flying them. So, today, please meet one of these amazing men.
The Saker
We are in the midst of a cold war.And its past time that Russia and her allies understand that and accept it.That means that most ties of any kind that involve any sort of Western control will need to be cut.And one good place to begin is with the Western dominated sports associations.We can see what they are trying to do to Russia.It doesn’t take a mental giant to see their plot.But it will take a firm hand to prevent it.Its time for Russia and her allies to form separate organizations outside of Western control.And if it means that the World of sports will be divided into Western stooges and the rest of the World,so be it.Its too important in the World to break Western control to worry about anything else.Its a disgrace that the World has stood by and allowed Western thugs to gain the power to impose their will on so-called “World” organizations.But the weak,and gullible did.So now to correct that error a lot of hardships will have to be suffered by sportsmen and women throughout the World.But there isn’t another choice to be made.I suspect that organization will only be the first of most that will need to be divided.Once the war is won,and the multi-polar World arrives fully there can probably be “real” international organizations formed.But until then we will just need to get used to dual “World” organizations existing .
Forming organizations of any kind (sports, political, ecnomic, militray, or even cultural) that are independent of the West in general and Imperialist America in particular is the ultimate crime.
The Euro-Americans possess a fanatical belief that they are the Law, the alpha and omega of all human endeavors and hence have a God-given right to dominate any institution.
This is American Exceptionalism in a nutshell.
Indeed, the Euro-Americans share a fundamentalist belief in their own moral superiority with that of the Islamicists they are covertly arming and supporting.
The only difference is that the Euro-American fundamentalist claims to champion Freedom and Democracy, while Islamicists champion a perversion of Islam.
The US and its Anglosphere and EU vassals are in the grip of an ‘exceptional and indispensable’ lunacy that is like another people that thought they were ‘uber alles’.
But now it is being confronted by a coalescing and at the same time multifarious East that has drawn a line in Syria saying No More after five hundred years of the Wests’ deceit and plunder of the rest of the world. Unlike during the first Cold War the East is responding asymmetrically to threats from the West.
The West will be stopped. The East will no longer bend its knee to the West.
Euro democracy islamo facism both common xenophobic hatred of all cultures.
Good interview.His is a success story of the Russian World in the USSR.As a Kalmyk, in the old days he would probably have not been able to rise to a position like he has.But because the USSR and now the Russian Federation as well, denies positions based on ethnicity and race, he was able to advance.
“Next year we will depend less on oil revenues,” Finance Minister Anton Siluanov was cited by the Interfax news agency as saying at the State Duma session. According to him, in 2016 revenues from exporting oil and gas will constitute only 7.7 percent of the country’s gross output, while revenues from other sources will constitute 9.8 percent.
2016 incoming funds are estimated at 13.7 trillion rubles ($209 billion), while budget expenses are expected to mount up to 16.1 trillion rubles, Interfax reported. The budget deficit is predicted to be around 2.4 trillion rubles, the report said.

The CIA terror network in Europe…
The August 2, 1980 bombing of the Bologna train station which killed 85 people, is widely recognized as a Gladio operation.
Two Italian secret service agents and Licio Gelli, the head of the infamous P2 Masonic lodge, were convicted in connection to the bombing.
Similar Gladio-like operations have been discovered across Europe, including France, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, Germany, Switzerland…
Operation Gladio
Originally aired on BBC2 in 1992, ‘Operation Gladio’ reveals ‘Gladio’, the secret state-sponsored terror network operating in Europe.
This BBC series is about a far-right secret army, operated by the CIA and MI6 through NATO, which killed hundreds of innocent Europeans and attempted to blame the deaths on Baader Meinhof, Red Brigades and other left wing groups. Known as ‘stay-behinds’ these armies were given access to military equipment which was supposed to be used for sabotage after a Soviet invasion. Instead it was used in massacres across mainland Europe as part of a CIA Strategy of Tension. Gladio killing sprees in Belgium and Italy were carried out for the purpose of frightening the national political classes into adopting U.S. policies.
Operation Gladio is undisputed historical fact. Gladio was part of a post-World War II program set up by the CIA and NATO supposedly to thwart future Soviet/communist invasions or influence in Italy and Western Europe. In fact, it became a state-sponsored right-wing terrorist network, involved in false flag operations and the subversion of democracy.
The existence of Gladio was confirmed and admitted by the Italian government in 1990, after a judge, Felice Casson, discovered the network in the course of his investigations into right-wing terrorism. Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti admitted Gladio’s existence but tried to minimize its significance.
The main function of the Gladio-style groups, in the absence of Soviet invasion, seems to have been to discredit left-wing groups and politicians through the use of “the strategy of tension,” including false-flag terrorism. The strategy of tension is a concept for control and manipulation of public opinion through the use of fear, propaganda, agents provacateurs, terrorism, etc. The aim was to instill fear into the populace while framing communist and left-wing political opponents for terrorist atrocities.
http://www.truthmove.org/content/operation-gladio/
The Central Intelligence Agency responded to the series of accusations made by Ganser in his book regarding the CIA’s involvement in Operation Gladio, by claiming that neither Ganser nor anyone else could have solid evidence supporting their accusations. At one point in his book, Ganser even talks about the CIA’s covert action policies as being “terrorist in nature” and then accuses the CIA of using their “networks for political terrorism”.

Here is a list of false flag attacks throughout the 20th cent and down to the present:

I see there has been yet another “terrorist” attack in France just days before Frances only aircraft carrier is due to depart to Syria (where it hasnt been invited by the legitimate Syrian authorities) to join in so called “attacks” against ISIS.
Call me suspicious but I just dont buy it. Timing is way too convenient for the psychopaths in charge. At a time when their vermin head choppers are getting their asses well and truly kicked in Syria thanks to the Russian intervention and the SAA making advances on the ground, the “west” is totally desperate to come up with some credible excuse to justify a full scale invasion of Syria ostensibly to “fight” their creation ISIS of course, and lo and behold we suddenly have a “terrorist” attack in Paris that leaves 150 people dead.
They will now begin clamouring for a full scale invasion of Syria. The west is being led by madmen, they are utterly devoid of conscience, humanity or any fear of God, these people are insane. They are enemies of all humanity as even the lives of their own citizens are meaningless to them.
” They will now begin clamouring for a full scale invasion of Syria.”
That’s how it looks like. But would that really be a smart idea? I doubt it very much.
The Russians knew their Syria campaign would most likely be devastatingly successful, otherwise they wouldn’t have gone in in the first place.
The Russians further knew that the current sickly crop of Western leaders wouldn’t be able to stomach even the slightest Russian success and might therefore – after an avalanche of anti-Russia propaganda, a series of false flags attacks, some major State-terror atrocities – be forced to consider the only thing they fear like hell: directly confronting Russia militarily.
In other words, Russia knew the bullies might go on a rampage. And therefore preparations have been made accordingly. Weeks ago.
So, the Russian are ready. Is anyone else ready? I doubt it very much.
If you join all the dots together, Hollande is already declaring that this attack is a “an act of war” orchestrated from the outside by ISIS, the French aircraft carrier Charles de gaulle due to sail for the middle east on the 18th of this month to take part in “strikes against ISIS”, the genocidal madman Erdogan (who is a member of NATO) stating earlier that he is soon going to begin military operations inside Syria to create his beloved “safe zones” for his mercenary head choppers, etc., the stage is being set for WWIII, and the sheeple are being herded along to the slaughter house by the mad men in charge.
I like the way the guest cuts the interview off so politely and firmly…”…da da dadada’ and then goes on to describe the helicopter.
A powerful ending to the story…in true Russian heart.
Facinating! having been WIA during the Tet Offensive in the Mekong Delta and during a year of combat saw a lot of chopper action however i was in the ‘Brown Water Navy’ and most ops were on army owned naval operated river craft, except during the Tet O. ~ at any rate the enormous size of these Russian choppers ~ i just don’t think they’d have faired well in the rice paddies… on the other hand the Russians weren’t stoopid and their constitution prevents them from Viet Nams and Iraq’s / Afghanistan is just to weird to figure. (however from what i can tell it should have been a Criminal situation not an invasion).
A little OT, but given the report of Valentin Vasilescu, http://www.voltairenet.org/article189255.html , it would seem there is a covert and very treacherous war that is being waged targeting Russian civilians. There will be none of the honor in this war that he describes in this video.
Two observations on the graph of speed and altitude that Valentin provides changes his conclusion slightly, but significantly. Yes, the autopilot was hacked and used to destroy the plane. However it was not a program… it was done remotely. Note in particular the 5 seconds (4.12.56 – 4.13.00 ) prior to the disasterous descent, climb, descent that Valentin describes so well. A malicious program would go directly into the destructive act. A person remotely hacking into the program would first confirm he/she has control, then do the treacherous deed. The little descent and then rise just prior to the plane going out of control is the signature of someone remotely checking their control… a control they confirmed by active monitering.
A second evidence of remote control is that from 44.13.03 – 4.13.08 plane control is demonstrated… the tail is not yet detatched. The plane increases in speed and a second dive initiated to break it free. A rougue program in the autopilot would not have known this. The tail breaks off at 4.13.12 as indicated by a precipitous drop in speed. The plane is then brought to a crash.
The remote control of the aircraft and the active monitering of its’ response to that control indicates a very sophisticated intelligence operation.
interesting challenge to the claim that S-400 are in Syria:
http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/no-this-image-is-not-proof-that-russia-deployed-s-400-1742426644
Paris seems to be getting hit rather badly these days but then this is the European country that has the most intimate relationship with Islamic countries over the past 70 years with the torturous Algerian occupation being one of its worse moments. I don’t think every attack can be assumed to be a false flag. Still, that a whole population is terrorized in the midEast or Paris serves only a few people’s interests and given the policies of their governments( of the 1%) should have been logically expected. Saudi/Qatari Princes must go into the dust bin of history.
With all due respect I think the attacks have nothing to do with French Algeria. Algeria was granted independence in 1962 following a referendum. As it is already 60+ years ago from an eventually peaceful parting of ways I don’t see how the two countries could have good relations since then but now inspire terror attacks.
Of course France has since been involved in (recently) bombing in Libya and Syria so they’ve done plenty of things to draw the anger of at least some Islamic people.
Interesting that he mentioned that story about Massoud..
I read this Pepe Escobar interview with Massoud that was intersting.. why was he taken out prior to 9/11? He was seeking a political settlement with the Taliban
from http://www.atimes.com/ind-pak/CI12Df01.html
—-
“I’m not waging war against the Taliban. I’m at war with Pakistan.” Masoud is certain that “forty percent of the people in the frontlines are not Afghans, they are foreigners – mostly Pakistani military, Taliban-educated in Pakistani madrassas, [fundamentalist religious schools] and Saudis faithful to Osama bin Laden. These people can come from all over – since Osama has issued a worldwide appeal for ‘good Muslims’ to come to Afghanistan to engage in a jihad [holy war].” So, along with Russians, Americans, Chinese and everybody else, Masoud is also clearly worried about the possible Talibanization of Central Asia.
The more I see of things like this report.The more I believe war is coming.It’s sad,but that is the way of the World:
“It seems that law enforcement officials from 5 countries (Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg and Monaco) recently used figures of President Putin and his bodyguard as targets on the shooting range.
At least one journalist was disgusted: “I find it more than tasteless that officers from the above mentioned countries shoot at a picture of President Putin.”
“What were the organizers in Kennelbach thinking about?” the author asked with surprise.
The author added that he can hardly imagine a reverse situation, when one would shoot at figures of Obama or Merkel and use them as targets. The situation would be considered scandalous and would cause outcry among all Western countries.
The training took place in one of the Austrian districts (Kennelbach near Bregenz) and was attended by 241 police and bodyguards.”

I so enjoyed listening to this interview.
What a calm, confidence-inspiring man.
And, interesting perspectives on teh Afghanistan situation. Hints, really.
Very interesting bit about the powerful helicopter raising up the American one.
Although I am not clear just what that combat situ was, with Russian and American helicopters in te same battle space.
Thank you, Alena.
Katherine
It was in Afghanistan,and the NATO forces asked/hired Russians to lift the helicopter out. I took from the story it was just a “business” deal.
Russia should have refused.
I am reminded of the conversation of the Vietnamese general Giap with his American counterpart at the Paris peace talks.
You never defeated us on the battlefield, said the American, and Giap replied, ‘That’s true, but it is also irrelevant’.
He sounds like a great soldier, but that does not escape the fact that the USSR lost, Afghanistan fell to the progenitors of ISIS and all the rest of the ruthless people today. So what was the point of this? Don’t mean to be rude, but what’s the point?
Airbus 321 in the Sinaï – only one hypothesis remains
by Valentin Vasilescu http://www.voltairenet.org/article189255.html
Russian investigators brought with them to Egypt a complex apparatus designed to test the débris both inside and outside the plane. This equipment enables the detection of aerosol-based explosives to a level of sensitivity of 20 nanogrammes. If, in the test solutions, there appear traces of a brown-violet colour, the agent is revealed as TNT. If an orange precipitate appears, the explosive is Tetryl, or another explosive from group A (TNB, DNT, picric acid, etc.). The Russian device possesses a range of separate tests for explosives from group B. With this system, the appearance in test solutions of a rosy colour would indicate the use of dynamite, nitroglycerine, RDX, PETN, SEMTEX or nitrocellulose. If the chemical reactions do not identify explosives from groups A and B, the test equipment automatically checks for the presence of components containing inorganic nitrates, such as chlorine, bromine or peroxyde, used in the preparation of improvised explosive devices (ANFO).

The Egyptian daily Almasry Alyoum published a declaration from the team of investigators working on the accident of the Russian A321 in the Sinaï peninsula —the team affirmed that no trace of explosive had been discovered in the débris of the plane, or on the articles of clothing and tissues recovered from the passengers. Thus, the hypothesis conveyed by British civil servants – according to which the crash of the Russian plane had been caused by an on-board bomb, on the basis of the so-called ’interception’ of a conversation between leaders of the Islamic Emirate – is proved to be false. The hypothesis of an attack by a missile, either ground-to-air or air-to-air, also collapses, since missile war-heads contain TNT, a substance which was not detected by the investigators. The hypothesis of an explosion in one of the motors must also be discarded, since the turbine blades were discovered to be intact.

The same is true for the theory of the explosion of one of the fuel tanks, since these are situated in the wings, and an explosion to the right or left would have detached the wing from the fuselage. But the wings fell to the ground intact, a few metres away from the anterior part of the fuselage, before catching fire. This fact indicates that they were not detached from the fuselage, and that there was no fire in the fuel tanks before contact with the ground.

Thus, the myth woven by the US television channel NBC, according to which the Pentagon declared that a US military satellite had detected, in the area and at the moment of the accident, a peak of heat and light, turns out to be a lie. Finally, at this point, the Islamic Emirate or any other terrorist organisation, is relieved of responsibility in the crash of the Russian Airbus A321 in the Sinaï,which, apparently, bothers the US and UK governments. Why?
Depressurisation in the plane remains one of the active hypotheses, but only as a result of the plane’s chaotic manœuvres, and not as a cause in itself. As I pointed out in a previous article [1], the repetitive pitching movements, with negative and positive overloads beyond anything normal for a passenger plane, are what led to the separation of the exterior panels, the twisting and dislocation of certain resistance elements in the plane’s basic structure (central girders, ribs, etc.) and rupture of the hydraulic pipes and hoses fixed to the exterior cladding. In the absence of hydraulic pressure, the plane’s crew can control neither depth nor direction. The abnormal noise, discovered during the analysis of the black box, probably indicates depressurisation, followed by the dislocation of some of the plane’s parts at an altitude of about 5,000 to 6,000 metres, as confirmed by the impact of large fragments of the plane over more than 2 kilometres in the direction of the flight.
JPEG – 43.3 kb
Let’s return to 06:12:59 in the progress of the accident, and attempt to decode each of the fluctuations in the flight parametres. It is essentiel to underline the fact that the plane was at that moment flying by automatic pilot. First of all, we note a 3-second descent, with a loss of altitude of 150 metres, which led to a negative overload of 2 G. This manœuvre is too sudden, producing an « air-pocket » sensation, to have been commanded by the flight crew.
JPEG – 25.9 kb
The second command was the aircraft’s recovery, climbing 800 metres in 2 – 3 seconds, causing positive overloads of between 5 and 6 G, values which only exist for fighter aircraft in close combat situations, and lead to the pilot’s loss of vision, known in aeronautical jargon as the « black veil » . In my opinion, it is impossible that this command could have been originated by the flight crew – only a defective automatic pilot could have generated such a climb. If the pilots had been at the controls, after the first brutal descent, they would have redressed the plane progressively, first of all horizontally for 8 to 10 seconds, then climbing slowly to return to their cruising altitude.
The third command consisted of switching from a 40° to 50° climb to a dive of 20° to 30°, with a negative overload of 4 G, and it is impossible for this manœuvre to have been executed by the crew of a passenger aeroplane, because everybody loses consciousness, with the appearance of what is called the « red veil ». The only moments in which the crew could apparently have intervened would have been during the brief moments of horizontal flight – 5 seconds and 3 seconds, if unhindered by further uncontrolled developments. In normal situations, the aerodynamic centre of the automatic pilot will not allow manœuvres which could lead to overloads close to material destruction, whatever commands may be operated by the pilot in manual control. The cause of these chaotic manœuvres can therefore only be due to a dysfunction of the mechanism of the automatic pilot.
Apart from the failure of the automatic pilot’s computer, due to material exhaustion, I have explained, in a previous article, that it is possible to take control of the A321 from the outside, by hacking into the automatic pilot’s software, either through a previously-installed programme, or via a ground-based transmission. By a strange « coincidence », from the first seconds that the plane’s chaotic manœuvres were noted, both the transponder and the radio ceased transmitting. The transponder would have indicated the plane’s flight parametres to the air traffic controllers and, via the on-board radio, the crew could have signalled the appearance of an emergency situation and described the plane’s behaviour.
However, what led to the dysfunction of the automatic pilot at that precise moment, only the investigating committee will be able to determine.

Russia scrambles the controls of the aircraft carrier ’Ronald Reagan’ and the 7th fleet
http://www.voltairenet.org/article189241.html
the 27th October 2015, a Tupolev 142 made numerous approaches to the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, which was working on manœuvres with the 7th fleet and the South Korean Navy to the East of the peninsula.
Since April 2014, the Russian Air Force has engaged in a number of actions aimed at testing their system for scrambling NATO communications and commands [1].
This time, the US Navy sent up several of its planes before the Russian Tupolev scrambled the US communications and commands, so that they were finally able to chase the intruder away. However, the Tupolev got as close as 500 feet from the aircraft carrier without either the carrier or the 7th fleet being able to react, which proved that Russia is now able to destroy a NATO flagship.
The Russian system for scambling NATO communications and commands is currently being tested in a war situation in Syria, where it covers a radius of 300 kilometres around Lattakia – a zone which is now invisible for the Atlantic Alliance’s surveillance technology. The Russian system is also deployed over a part of the Black Sea and at Kaliningrad.

I am puzzled by Valentin Valescu s assertion that the Russian passenger plane over the Sinai was taken down by remote interference of its controls.
In the past few days Vladimir Putin declared that the plane had been taken down by a planted bomb either in the luggage or passenger compartment. DAESH have admitted responsibility and publised photos of a soda can IED.
Is there another game being played here by Putin.
If the plane was remotely hi-jacked it opens up many types of scenario as regards 9/11 and the missing Malaysian MH370.
There is only one country with this technology and that is Israel and its Mossad.
Is this information being withheld as a pressure point against Israel and the US. ?
where are the subs?
